In the Middle East, especially in Turkey, there are ancient dioceses which are still listed "on the books" of the Churches of Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem or Alexandria where there isn't a single Christian living. There are still churches there, probably most of them ruins. The Patriarchial Churches for many years have been trying to have one Liturgy a year in those Churches. These dioceses are still recognized because it is the prayer of the Church that Christianity will return to those dioceses. Sorry for the confusion. What did you think I was saying?
Speaking for myself, I had no idea. Thanks for clarifying this.
I had no idea. I simply didn't have a place to put that part of the paragraph that referenced "Mohammedans".
Your explanation also makes clear the desire for "one celebration of the Liturgy a year."
Thanks for the clarification. I simply didn't know.
